another view

Wow! Beety that's amazing. Do you know why she was chosen?

What an amazing heirloom. Are you going to take the DC to see her?

She was a model and dancer and had the right look.

DC have seen her already.

Grandma didn't see it herself until she was 74!!!

There are some other ones but I cannot find them on the web

Nice shot from behind, showing the landscape.

Sorry, should have said you need to scroll down.

And you get a good idea of scale in this one.

She is beautiful Beety.

A keepsake for the family perhaps?

wow thanks pyramid!

Gosh, that's amazing beetroot. She must have been gorgeous. Wonderful bit of family lore, that one.

I don't think it was to do with Beauty. She was a dancer and so quite broad and I think they wanted to find someone who coudl look like they coudl shoulder the woes of the nation

Thats amazing beety

I have jsut ordered the coin for my mums birthday

there is a novel based on the building of this monument ..amazing really

I saw that. Glad my googling was of some use, I bet your mum will love that coin.

I think she will be really pleased. The coin has a good close up of the head of her mother.

The book is fascinating. A really good read

out of interest what did you put in google?

Vimy Ridge and searched on images.

It limits the search if you put in war or memorial.

there she is

thanks pyramid
